Fantastic and fun tour! We learned a lot about the history of each temple. We had plenty of time to walk around and take pictures of the temples. At the blue temple, we enjoyed a coconut ice cream dessert as suggested by our tour guide. At the white temple, we had delicious Khao Soi, also suggested by our tour guide. The highlight of our trip was meeting the architecture of Wat Rong Khun (White Temple), getting his autograph, and taking a picture with him.
Need to do this tour if you are in Chiang Mai area

It is a very long drive from Chiang May (around 3 hours one way) but it is well worth it, we visited 3 temples (White temple, blue temple and light temple) at the end of the day we were all very tired but glad we did it, tour operator guide was very nice, they also gave us the famous rice and mango dessert (Thai Mango Sticky Rice) they gave us hotel pickup and drop off, excellent tour experience
Perfect Temple Tour

This tour started with a stop at 7-11 to get some snacks if you need and a bathroom break. Then we were onto a cozy coffee shop which was a great way to start the day and break up the long drive to the first temple. We visited Wat Rong Khun the White Temple was jaw dropping! make sure explore all the other temples and areas surrounding the temple there is so much to see here. Next we went to the blue temple and it was probably my favorite because of the blue ice cream! Finally we explored Wat Sang Kaew Phothiyan, a beautiful and peaceful spot to end the day. Everything was well-organized, and our guide was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Chiang Mai!
Great tour

Our guide Peter was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Trip was well organized. Also we were informed that Temple of Ligh is partially on restoration after fire and given alternative option, it was really nice that choice was up to us. We choose alternative option (temple Wat Huay Pla Kang) which was amazing too. Blue and White temples of course beyond comparison, that's definite must see.
Wonderful day’
